The article emphasizes the law to date, the constitutionality of the forfeiture provisions, and the procedures for charging and implementing criminal forfeiture under RICO. While the RICO forfeiture laws apply to and are appropriately used in white collar prosecutions, prosecutors hoping to obtain forfeitures must carefully research their cases so that appropriate assets can be forfeited under a correct theory. Both prosecutors and defense attorneys should be aware of the constitutional issues of forfeiture and of the importance of evaluating third party claims, preservation of assets, and exemptions of assets to pay living expenses. 609 footnotes.
